B'EATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 659,345, dated October 9, 1900. Afi fi ti fi1 1 April2], 1900. serial No. 13,808. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLIFFORD E. IvINs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glenolden, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania,have invented a certain new and useful Beater, of which the following is a specification.

It is one object of this invention to provide a beater for beating eggs, whipping cream, and the like; and to this end the invention, stated in general terms, consists of a receptacle having a dasher or beater and a motor, which is constructed to operate the dasher or beater by water-power, a further object being to utilize the waste water to cool the contents of the receptacle while being agitated.

The nature, characteristic features, and

' scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description ,taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, forming part hereof, and in which I have illustrated in central section abeatereinbodying features of my invention.

Egg and other heaters, such as are commonly used in households, restaurants, and hotels, have heretofore been operated by hand, which not only consumes much time, but is very fatiguing. In order to overcome these disadvantageous features, I have constructed an automatic beater which can be operated by water-power, compressed air, or the like. Since the beater can be attached, for instance, to a spigot in the kitchen and left to operate while attending to some other duty, it follows that both a saving in time and labor must ensue.

In the drawing, a is a receptacle of any preferred shape and materialfor instance, a glass jar-adapted to contain eggs, cream, and the like. Mounted on a shaft 0; is a dasher or heater b, which for the sake of illustration is shown as constructed of wire, although any form of beater would answer the same purpose. Fitting snugly to the upper portion of the receptacle at is a cover 0, which serves to prevent water from entering the receptacle and also serves to keep the.

contents of the receptacle, while in the process of agitation, from escaping. The coverc may be provided with a handle and also a hood cl. The hood d is constructed to receive a motor or water-wheel 6, also mounted on parting from the spirit thereof.

the shaft a, which can be of any of the wellknown types of wheels and the type of which is not material to this invention. This wheel is adapted, through the instrumentality of water supplied from a spigot or other appropriate place, to operate the dasher or beater at a high rate of speed. The hood (1 is provided with feet 6 and openings 6 which perinit of the escape of the waste water, which runs down over the sides of the receptacle and serves to cool the contents of the same, which is an advantageous feature. Leading to the hood is a hose g, having a spigot attachment or coupling, which may consist of an extension g, adapted to fit inside the spigot, and a skirt portion g which is adapted to fit around the outside of the spigot. Extending from the hood, preferably at an inclination ,in order to properly strike the blades of the wheel, is a nozzle f, adapted to receive the other end of the hose. Between the motor or wheel and -the cover 0 is a gland or water-excluding packing h, which serves to exclude Water from the interior of the receptacle a.

In operation, the-receptacle ct having been supplied with suitable material, the cover 0 is fitted to the receptacle and the hose 9 attached to a spigot, Water coming under pressure such as is supplied'in the watermains and striking the blades of the wheel at an inclination rotates the shaft a and its dasher or heater 1) at a high rate of speed, which, in a few seconds, produces excellent results. The heater shown in the drawing is especially adapted for household use,where it is merely necessary to attach it to the spigot in the sink, turn on the water, and While attending to some other duties obtain those results which ordinarily would have involved much time and labor. However, in restaurants and hotels, where a heater of a much larger size is needed, and where compressed air and the like is obtainable, the same results could be produced.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains that modifications may be made in details without de- Hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts hereinabove set forth, and illustrated in the drawings; but,

ing a casing removably attached to the re ceptacle, inlet connections for supplying fluid [5 to the motor, and discharge-outlets therefor, the arrangement being such that the waste fluid is adapted to 'run down over the sides of the receptacle and cool the contents thereof, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.
